Smart Summary: A new system helps verify requests for identifiers, like domain names, by creating a secure record called a Resolution Receipt (RR). When a request is made, it goes through a gateway that checks it against a set of rules and confirms it with a signed token. The system can also add extra information using a knowledge graph and create a unique key for each object. It keeps detailed records of activities, including reasons for decisions and audit trails, to ensure transparency and accountability. Finally, these records can be stored securely and used for real-time monitoring and management in various applications, such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and real estate. 🚀 TL;DR

Abstract:

A policy-governed network resolution system generates a cryptographically verifiable Resolution Receipt (RR) for each identifier request. An identifier (e.g., a domain name under a BEIDNS/BEIDomain/BEITLD namespace) is routed to a resolver gateway, matched to a basepoint within a curated identifier reservoir, evaluated under a versioned policy container, and authorized by a signed scope token to enforce selective disclosure. The resolver may enrich the context with a knowledge-graph entity identifier, derive a decentralized identity root for Behavioral Economics Identity (BEI), and mint a content-addressable global object key. Minute-grade activity is metered and recorded in the RR, including policy version, reason codes, lifecycle state, audit anchors, and a signature chain, further supporting denial receipts with remediation steps. RR digests may be recorded in append-only logs and optionally anchored to a distributed ledger. Aggregated RR metrics may be streamed for real-time indexing, resource governance, and bounded rollback in IoT and real-estate embodiments.

STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH

Not applicable.

TECHNICAL FIELD

Overview. This specification describes a DNS-adjacent, policy-governed identifier resolution layer for BEI domain names and related identifiers. In exemplary implementations, standard DNS mechanisms are used for discovery (e.g., HTTPS/SVCB/URI records) to locate a resolver gateway endpoint, while governance, authorization, selective disclosure, and receipt issuance occur in the resolver gateway.

References to specific domain names (e.g., BEIDNS.org, BEIDNS.APP) are illustrative and non-limiting.

The disclosure relates to network name resolution, domain name system (DNS) security and policy enforcement, cryptographic attestation, decentralized and federated identity, object identification, auditability, and time-value accounting and settlement.

BACKGROUND

DNS was designed primarily to map human-readable names to resource records such as IP addresses. Modern Internet and intranet deployments increasingly require: (i) fine-grained, policy-driven access and disclosure controls; (ii) cryptographically verifiable evidence of resolution decisions; (iii) audit trails for compliance, dispute resolution, and incident response; and (iv) mechanisms that can bind resolution events to identity, objects, and value-transfer systems.

Existing DNS security mechanisms provide important primitives—e.g., DNSSEC for integrity and authenticity, and encrypted transports such as DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) and DNS-over-TLS (DOT)—but generally do not standardize a resolver output that functions as a portable, third-party-verifiable evidence receipt of the resolution decision.

Separately, decentralized identifiers (DIDs) and blockchains may provide identity and immutable anchoring, and knowledge graphs may provide entity semantics; however, these are typically external to DNS resolution. In addition, time-value representations (e.g., tokenizing verified time) exist but do not integrate a DNS-rooted, policy-enforced resolution pathway that produces a standardized evidence receipt and supports bounded corrective rollback.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

In one aspect, a resolver (or gateway) upgrades the DNS resolution process into a policy-enforced, evidence-producing protocol that outputs a standardized “Resolution Receipt” (RR). The RR includes (by way of example) a decision reason code, a policy-container version identifier, a signature chain, and one or more audit anchors. In some embodiments, the RR further includes: (i) time-duration and time-value fields that support minting or accounting of time-value units; (ii) knowledge-graph entity identifiers and confidence scores; (iii) global identity root identifiers (GI); and (iv) global object keys (GOK) for resources or events.

In another aspect, the system supports scope-based delegation via a Scope Token that encodes permitted audiences, time windows, field-level disclosure rules (minimum disclosure), purpose codes, and policy version constraints. In another aspect, the system supports lifecycle governance and bounded rollback, such as limiting rollback depth to three layers and the rollback window to seventy-two hours, while preserving immutable audit evidence.

DEFINITIONS AND TERMINOLOGY

The following terms are used for clarity; definitions are non-limiting.

    • Identifier (or Identifier String)—A resolvable string in one or more namespaces. An identifier may be a domain name, subdomain, URI, or other resolvable label.
    • Domain Name (as used herein)—Not limited to conventional DNS usage; may refer to any resolvable identifier that operates as a namespace entry and/or Basepoint node in the protocol.
    • Basepoint—A root node selected from the identifier reservoir that anchors policy execution, scope derivation, and receipt formation for a resolution event.
    • Parcel/Lot/Sub-Identifier—A scoped sub-identifier derived from a Basepoint (e.g., a subdomain) representing a subdivided namespace instance that can be bound to an entity, asset, user, or policy scope.
    • Policy Container—A versioned, machine-executable policy bundle (rules, coefficients, compliance toggles, reason codes) loaded by the resolver for a given Basepoint and scope.
    • Scope Token—A cryptographically verifiable token encoding scope, authorization, and compliance parameters that enables policy-governed resolution and selective disclosure.
    • Selective Disclosure—A policy-controlled disclosure mode that returns minimized or jurisdiction-appropriate subsets of RR fields while maintaining independent verifiability of the receipt.
    • Knowledge Graph (KG)—A semantic entity/relationship service used to enrich resolution context (e.g., Google Knowledge Graph or an equivalent KG service).
    • GI-DID (Global Identity Root)—A decentralized-identity anchor (e.g., W3C DID) binding a subject to resolution events and RR evidence.
    • GOK (Global Object Key)—A content-addressable object identifier derived from one or more of: KG entity IDs, Basepoint IDs, timestamps, and/or object hashes; used to bind physical/digital assets to RR evidence.
    • Resolution Receipt (RR)—A canonical, cryptographically signed, independently verifiable record emitted by the resolver, comprising policy metadata, reason codes, audit anchors, and metering/identity/object fields.

Pre-Established Identifier Reservoir (1999 Inventory)

In some embodiments, the disclosed protocol uses a pre-established BEI identifier “Reservoir,” initiated circa 1999 by Furong BEI, as a scalable naming substrate for global, long-horizon identity and governance. The Reservoir allocates basepoints and hierarchical namespaces to persons, families, organizations, industries, and jurisdictions, functioning as a durable, expandable “Treasure Bowl/Virgin Land” digital parcel that can be indefinitely subdivided via derived identifiers (e.g., subdomains).

This application is a continuation-in-part of the applications listed in the Application Data Sheet (ADS) filed herewith, the entire disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference.

record

Exemplary deterministic data structures for the Resolution Receipt (RR or RRec), including signature-chain representation, are provided in Appendix B. Exemplary Scope Token (ST) templates, denial reason-code semantics, and remediation-step fields are provided in Appendix C. Canonicalization, hashing, signature verification, and rollback-impact reporting are described in the Detailed Description (e.g., receipt canonicalization and signature verification).

Scope Token—Example Structure

A Scope Token encodes range-based delegation, minimum disclosure, and policy-version constraints.

Program Listing Reference (Non-limiting): Illustrative program listings, encoding examples, and test vectors are provided in a separate Code Appendix/Computer Program Listing attachment. For written-description and enablement, the present specification defines (i) the Resolution Receipt (RRec) field set (e.g., result_set, reason_code, policy_hash, policy_version, audit_anchor, signature_chain, revocation_ref, rollback_ref, ttl, bei_duration, bei_value, gi_did_root, gok_hash, kg_entity_id, demand_code, industry_code, regulation_id, resource_type, exchange_coin, savings_rate, status), (ii) deterministic hashing and signing inputs, and (iii) independent verification and bounded rollback procedures.

Operational Flows

Resolution-as-Evidence Flow

A non-limiting flow includes: (1) receive query; (2) map query to basepoint/parcel; (3) load policy container; (4) validate Scope Token; (5) compute decision and output ER/DR/SR; (6) generate RR with reason code, policy version, signature chain, and audit anchors; (7) return response to the requester; (8) optionally anchor RR hash and publish index metrics.

Bounded Rollback and Correction

Upon a correction trigger (e.g., mis-binding, key compromise, policy error), a governance service may: (i) verify evidence; (ii) produce a rollback record within bounded constraints (e.g., <=72 hours, <=3 layers); (iii) freeze or revoke affected receipts and object keys; (iv) emit a correction RR referencing the prior RR; (v) invalidate caches based on revocation references; and (vi) preserve auditability via immutable anchors.

Security, Privacy, and Compliance Considerations

Encrypted transports such as DoH and DoT may be used for confidentiality in transit. Minimum disclosure is enforced by Scope Token field allowlists. Receipts may be designed for third-party verification by including a complete signature chain and stable hash canonicalization.

In some embodiments, sensitive data is not embedded directly in the RR; instead, the RR includes references (e.g., object keys) to encrypted payloads, with access controlled by policy and delegation.

Cryptographic Verification Test Vector (Non-Limiting, Deterministic Example)

To support independent verification and reproducibility, some embodiments define a canonical request payload and deterministic hashing procedure. The following test vector is non-limiting and is provided to enable third parties to reproduce identical bytes, hashes, and signature verification results.

Canonical JSON (UTF-8; keys sorted; no whitespace):
{“identifier”:“alice.medicalcenter.us”,“nonce”:“000102030405060708090A0B0C0D0E0
F”,“policy_version”:“1.0.0”,“scope”:{“identity_scope”:“subject”,“scene_scope”:“medical
_access”,“target_scope”:“record_read”},“time_window”:{“end_at”:“2026-01-
14T06:05:22Z”,“start_at”:“2026-01-14T05:05:22Z”}}
SHA-256 digest (hex) of canonical JSON:
d7bcb673a6a58bf778c9079d73b211b34e3219cecba96a4237f9d93b08205963
Ed25519 public key (base64, 32 bytes):
cSZR9FC6BbY4mLme9fe6RWMujiUn9/cVzWcexAJMxR4=
Ed25519 signature over canonical JSON (base64, 64 bytes):
0fJQhoQnezzu3J95MisGWuiw7dkUEhlnAgVgMG/dtpM2hQfZGFGzXtHDi9Q9nbqdew
bWZG0IdgnEwIG/m3VNDw==

Verification rule: verify (signature, canonical json, public_key) MUST return TRUE to accept the receipt chain; otherwise the client MUST treat the response as invalid and may emit a DR with RC-08 (INTEGRITY_FAIL).

Exemplary Embodiments

Medical Service (17-Minute Example)

A patient ‘Zhang San’ completes a medical consultation lasting 17 minutes. A client application submits a query for diabetes.zhangsan.beihealth.com. The resolver maps the basepoint to a medical policy container and validates a Scope Token issued to a clinician.

The policy authorizes minimum disclosure. The system optionally queries a knowledge graph to bind the request to a diabetes-related entity ID. The time-value engine records bei_duration=17 and computes bei_value using an index feed. An RR is generated and anchored. The RR serves as a verifiable evidence receipt for settlement, compliance, and audit.

Supply Chain Mis-Binding and Rollback

A supply-chain parcel is mis-bound to an incorrect operator. Evidence is submitted within 72 hours. The governance service performs bounded rollback, invalidates affected object keys, emits a correction RR (status=ROLLBACK or RECOVERED), and forces cache invalidation via revocation references.

Sovereignty Gateway and Regulatory Audit

A national or industry gateway operates policy containers at a TLD scope. Each resolution produces an RR that encodes policy version and reason codes. Auditors verify compliance by validating RR signature chains and anchors, without trusting the resolver operator.

Exemplary Central-Bank Portal and Rule Publication (Worldcentralbank.Us: Worldbankcentral.Com)

In one non-limiting embodiment, an operator publishes an authoritative portal for time-denominated settlement and policy discovery at a resolvable basepoint (e.g., worldcentralbank.us and/or worldbankcentral.com). The portal can expose (i) a signed, versioned policy-container manifest, (ii) a resolver endpoint for generating enhanced resolution receipts (RRs), and (iii) a public dashboard reflecting a minute-index snapshot (e.g., via beiindex.com and/or minuteindex.org).

In such embodiment, a client submits a resolution request that includes an asserted activity duration and a scoped identifier (e.g., a sub-identifier derived from a curated basepoint). The resolver returns an enhanced RR that is tamper-evident (e.g., by cryptographic signature and/or by anchoring a digest to an audit chain) and that includes, without limitation, (a) duration, (b) computed value, (c) an identity-root reference, and (d) a minute-index reference to a contemporaneous snapshot identifier.

Exemplary Time-Asset Dashboard and Wallet (Timeassets.Org; Timeassets.App)

In one non-limiting embodiment, a time-asset management interface is provided via a web endpoint and/or mobile endpoint (e.g., timeassets.org and timeassets.app). The interface can display balances of time-denominated units, pending receipts, lock states, and verification status, and can provide workflows to verify an RR by validating a signature and/or audit anchor digest.

In certain embodiments, the time-asset interface bridges settlement to one or more minting and exchange components (e.g., a minting basepoint such as beimint.com and an exchange/index basepoint such as beicx.com/bigx.com), while maintaining an immutable or append-only receipt history for auditability.

Exemplary Time Savings Account and Compounding (Savingsbank.App: Minutebank.Org)

In one non-limiting embodiment, a ‘time savings account’ (TSA) is implemented by a client application (e.g., savingsbank.app) interoperating with a retail banking gateway (e.g., minutebank.org). The TSA can support lock-up periods, withdrawal rules, and rate parameters derived at least in part from a minute-index reference. The lock state can be recorded in the RR (e.g., a status field such as SAVINGS_LOCKED) such that downstream verifiers can independently confirm that units are subject to restrictions and policy controls.

In certain embodiments, the TSA supports inheritance and escrow-like controls (e.g., time-locked releases, designated beneficiaries, or dead-man switch triggers), with corresponding conditions recorded as receipt metadata and validated by a resolver policy container.

Exemplary Global Minute Index and Time-Denominated GDP Snapshot (minuteindex.org)

In one non-limiting embodiment, a minute-index service (e.g., minuteindex.org) publishes periodic snapshots that quantify aggregates of time-denominated activity metrics. A snapshot identifier can be referenced within each RR to provide a consistent valuation context and to enable independent recomputation or audit of derived values.

In certain embodiments, the minute-index service exposes an API for retrieving signed snapshot data and historical time-series, enabling derivative analytics such as sector-weighted indices, regional indices, or policy-trigger thresholds.

Exemplary Global Identity Ingress Via GI Application (Beigi.App)

In one non-limiting embodiment, a client identity ingress application (e.g., beigi.app) is used to register or bind a subject to an identity root (e.g., a DID-compatible identifier) and to provision keys for receipt signing/verification.

In certain embodiments, the identity ingress supports multiple identity providers (e.g., W3C DID methods, federated sign-in, and/or national eID), while normalizing outputs to a common resolver interface and enabling privacy-preserving verification through scoped credentials.

Real-Estate Time Coordinate, IoT Anchor, and Title-as-Receipt Embodiment

In one embodiment, a physical real-estate unit (e.g., an apartment, building, land parcel, or infrastructure asset) is represented as a time-coordinate identifier that is resolvable via the basepoint namespace. The identifier operates as a persistent address, a policy scope, and a settlement endpoint.

Example identifier (non-limiting): apt-001.chaoyang.beilots.com (or an equivalent sub-identifier under a designated housing or banking basepoint). The basepoint policy container stores, for the real-estate unit, parameters such as a remaining-duration limit (e.g., 70-year or 999-year tenure), a minimum collateral floor expressed in time units, and an associated global object key (GOK) that binds the identifier to a canonical property content-address (e.g., CID) and/or title registry record.

IoT anchoring: the real-estate unit may include one or more attested sensors (e.g., energy meter, water meter, door lock, temperature/humidity, air quality). At each reporting interval (e.g., per minute, per hour, or event-driven), an attested measurement bundle is produced, hashed, and anchored into the audit ledger. The measurement bundle may be used to (i) compute maintenance or resource time units attributable to the asset, (ii) validate habitability and compliance, and/or (iii) update risk, insurance, or sustainability metrics referenced by the policy container.

Title-as-Receipt: for title transfer, lease, mortgage, or lien operations, the system generates a Resolution Receipt (RREC) that includes (a) the property identifier, (b) the current policy version, (c) the GOK hash binding, (d) an IoT data anchor hash (if applicable), (e) a state field (e.g., OWNED, LEASED, MORTGAGED, RELEASED), and (f) a cryptographic signature and/or DNSSEC chain-of-trust evidence. The RREC thereby operates as a machine-verifiable digital deed that can be presented, validated, and audited without reliance on paper records.

Non-limiting example flow: a purchaser acquires a unit; the system binds the unit to a sub-identifier and initializes a policy container with tenure and collateral rules. After IoT onboarding, periodic IoT anchors update the asset's condition metrics. If the owner elects to borrow against time-value, a time-collateral portion is locked (e.g., within savingsbank.app) and the RREC state transitions to MORTGAGED; upon settlement, the lock is released and the state transitions back to OWNED.

This embodiment provides a technical improvement over conventional title systems by enabling (i) verifiable, cryptographically signed, machine-readable title receipts; (ii) automated state transitions and settlement controls; and (iii) optional IoT-backed condition anchoring that reduces fraud and improves auditability.

Technical Effects and Advantages

Compared to conventional DNS resolution, the disclosed system can provide:

    • Standardized, portable evidence of resolution decisions (RR) with reason codes, policy versions, signatures, and anchors.
    • Range-based delegation and minimum disclosure enforced at resolution time via Scope Tokens.
    • Lifecycle governance with bounded rollback and auditable correction receipts.
    • Optional integration of knowledge-graph semantics, global identity roots, and object-key provenance.
    • Optional time-value accounting/minting tied to verified events, enabling minute-scale indices and settlement systems.

Patentability-Oriented Technical Review (Non-Legal)

This section provides a technical framing commonly used to support patentability. It is not legal advice.

Subject Matter Eligibility (35 U.S.C. Section 101)—Technical Improvement

The disclosure describes protocol-level and system-level improvements: new structured outputs (RR), policy-container versioning, scope-based delegation with minimum disclosure, cryptographic verification and audit anchoring, and bounded rollback mechanisms. These features can be implemented as concrete data structures and network-processing steps that improve the security, accountability, and governance of name resolution.

Enablement and Written Description (35 U.S.C. Section 112)—Support Strategy

Enablement is supported by: (i) explicit field definitions and schemas for RR and Scope Tokens; (ii) described modules and interactions; (iii) exemplary embodiments; and (iv) appendices containing identifier inventory and implementation artifacts. The specification emphasizes deterministic verification steps and bounded correction conditions to avoid ambiguity.

Novelty and Non-Obviousness (35 U.S.C. Section Section 102-103)—Differentiators

Prior approaches may include blockchain-based naming, DNS security extensions, identity systems, time-token protocols, and knowledge graphs. The differentiator is the integrated resolution-time closed loop that produces a standardized evidence receipt with policy versioning and reason codes, enforces scope-based minimum disclosure, supports bounded rollback, and optionally binds to knowledge entities, identity roots, and object keys.

Appendix A Reference and Inventory Integration

Appendix A (incorporated by reference) provides a non-limiting curated inventory of basepoint identifiers that may be used as resolvable namespace entries for the disclosed system. The inventory may be treated as a reusable and extensible resource reservoir (“Treasure-Bowl”) that can be expanded without departing from the scope of the claims.

For prosecution and enablement, Appendix A may be submitted as a separate attachment and referenced herein as disclosure support for exemplary basepoint naming, categorization, and namespace partitioning strategies.

Appendix B: Resolution Receipt Schema (Illustrative)

The RR schema referenced herein is provided in a separately filed Code Appendix as a non-limiting example. Alternative encodings (e.g., JSON, CBOR, ASN.1) and additional or fewer fields may be used without departing from the scope of the claims.

Appendix B is filed separately as a Code Appendix containing non-limiting exemplary serialization schemas and test vectors (e.g., a deterministic RR schema). The operative RR field set and semantics are defined in this Specification.

Appendix C: Scope Token Templates, Denial Reason Codes, and 2026 Activation Nodes

A Scope Token (ST) is a signed authorization object comprising, by way of example, an audience identifier, expiry, purpose/intent, one or more scopes (identity_scope, scene_scope, target_scope), a time_window (or a Time-Domain Coordinate (TDC) path), a privacy_level, a whitelist of fields permitted for disclosure, a policy_pack identifier and version, a nonce, and a cryptographic signature.

A Denial Receipt (DR) comprises at least a machine-readable reason_code and one or more remediation_steps that enable a client to correct inputs and retry, optionally under a retry_policy, while preserving selective disclosure.

Receipt verification may be performed by recomputing deterministic hashes (e.g., policy_hash and audit_anchor), verifying a signature_chain, and confirming that the referenced policy_pack version and time_window constraints are satisfied; an illustrative test vector is provided in the separately filed Code Appendix.

Appendix G: Centennial Impact Assessment (Non-Limiting)

This appendix is provided as a non-limiting, illustrative impact assessment intended for contextual disclosure. It summarizes possible civilizational, economic, and governance effects enabled by the disclosed technical mechanisms (policy-governed resolution, cryptographically verifiable RR evidence, minute-grade metering, identity/object anchoring, and real-time index aggregation). This appendix is not required for enablement and shall not be construed as limiting any claim.

    • Over a multi-decade horizon, time-denominated accounting can standardize cross-context settlement by referencing a common time unit and an index publication mechanism.
    • Resolution receipts and audit anchoring may reduce fraud and improve transparency in multi-party transactions by enabling machine-verifiable evidence of activity, policy, and settlement state.
    • Where implemented with privacy modes and bounded rollback procedures, the system can support controlled disclosure while retaining auditability under policy-defined conditions.
    • Infrastructure embodiments, including real-estate and IoT anchoring, can convert physical resource usage and condition measurements into verifiable, auditable settlement records.
    • Minute-grade indices may enable near-real-time macroeconomic instrumentation for governments and enterprises, reducing reliance on delayed batch GDP reporting.
    • Time-denominated settlement may support new benefit and subsidy models (e.g., education or healthcare time credits) while preserving auditability and privacy via selective disclosure.
    • A time savings account embodiment may support lockup, compounding, and inheritance controls, with receipt states (e.g., SAVINGS_LOCKED, TRUST, INHERITED) enforced by policy containers.
    • Real-estate and infrastructure embodiments may bind parcels to GOKs and IoT minute feeds, enabling verifiable lease/mortgage workflows via RR state transitions (e.g., OWNED->MORTGAGE->OWNED).
    • Cross-jurisdiction policy containers may allow machine-executable compliance (e.g., GDPR, PIPL, MiCA) to be evidenced by RR reason codes and regulation anchors.
    • Standardization of RR schemas may enable interoperable validation across institutions and chains, enabling licensing of a common verification layer without dependence on a single resolver.

Consumer-Facing Minute Receipt Portals (Non-Limiting: BEIBILL.COM; BEIRECEIPT.COM)

Some embodiments include consumer-facing portals that expose resolution receipts as familiar “bills,” “receipts,” or “invoices” to enable rapid user comprehension and adoption without requiring protocol knowledge.

Example Portal A (Minute Bill). A portal hosted at an illustrative domain (e.g., BEIBILL.COM) receives a user identifier (email/phone) and a request to mint or retrieve a minute-grade bill. The portal invokes the resolver gateway to generate an RRec that includes bei_duration, bei_value, status, audit_anchor, and signature_chain, and transmits the RRec to the user (e.g., email/SMS) as an electronic bill statement.

Example Portal B (Resolution Receipt). A portal hosted at an illustrative domain (e.g., BEIRECEIPT.COM) issues a verifiable receipt for a resolution event (success or denial). The receipt may be rendered as a human-readable invoice and may include a machine-readable payload (e.g., QR encoding the RRec hash and verification endpoint).

These portals demonstrate that the same protocol layer can serve both machine integrations (API/SDK) and human-facing “receipting” experiences, and they provide evidence artifacts usable for disputes, refunds, chargeback-style remediation, compliance attestations, and user-controlled sharing.

Rollback Impact Report Example (Anti-Domino, Non-Limiting)

Some embodiments emit an Impact Report as part of a bounded rollback receipt (RR) to prevent cascade failures (“anti-domino”). The Impact Report may include a rollback_ref (snapshot pointer), an affected-set list (hashed identifiers), and client response rules.

Example: a disputed medical-access authorization is detected within a bounded rollback window. The governance service freezes the binding and emits RR+Impact Report:

    • rollback_ref: brl://snapshot/0a3211b6cc9257d8
    • Affected identifiers (SHA-256 prefix, 16 hex chars):
    • alice.medicalcenter.us->f8bc8e1f0c2275d9
    • alice.billing.beibill.com->5c7049ee82b2e54a
    • device123.beinode.com->1ef368a1e1f4ace0
    • clinic1.medicalcenter.us->3d1cce4638ae0b04
    • Impact time_window: 2026-01-14T05: 05:22Z to 2026-01-14T06: 05:22Z.

Client rule: upon receiving an Impact Report whose affected-set contains the subject identifier hash prefix, the client MUST block privileged operations, purge caches for the impacted identifiers, and require refreshed authorization proof (e.g., renewed ST) before reconnecting.

Reason-Code Pack and Remediation Hints (Examiner-Friendly Core Set)

In some embodiments, denial is not treated as a silent failure. Instead, the resolver gateway emits a Denial Receipt (DR) that includes a reason_code and remediation_steps, such that clients can programmatically guide recovery. The following non-limiting core set illustrates machine-readable denial semantics:

    • RC-00 OK: Resolution permitted.
    • RC-01 AUTH_DENIED: Authorization proof missing or invalid. Remediation: obtain a valid Scope Token (ST) or WebAuthn/Passkey proof.
    • RC-02 SCOPE_VIOLATION: Requested fields or actions exceed the authorized scope. Remediation: request narrower fields or obtain expanded scope.
    • RC-03 PRIVACY_MIN_DISCLOSURE: Sensitive subject; only challenge endpoint returned. Remediation: provide selective-disclosure VC or ZK proof.
    • RC-04 POLICY_BLOCKED: Policy Container rules prohibit requested intent. Remediation: change intent or satisfy additional prerequisites.
    • RC-05 REVOKED_OR FROZEN: Identifier or controller state revoked/frozen. Remediation: follow recovery/appeal workflow; check revocation_ref.
    • RC-06 STALE_OR_EXPIRED: Time window expired or TTL exceeded. Remediation: refresh request within a new time_window.
    • RC-07 ROLLBACK_IN PROGRESS: Identifier in dispute/rollback workflow. Remediation: wait or submit required dispute evidence; consult rollback ref.
    • RC-08 INTEGRITY_FAIL: Signature chain or audit anchor verification failed. Remediation: re-fetch from authoritative gateway; reject caches.
    • RC-09 RATE LIMITED: Governance throttling applied. Remediation: backoff and retry per retry policy.
    • RC-10 NOT_FOUND: No resolvable binding found under current policy. Remediation: register/claim basepoint or check correct namespace.

Standardization and Interoperability (Non-Limiting)

In non-limiting embodiments, the BEI TRD protocol (also referred to herein as BEIDNS) is designed to be standards-adjacent and interoperable with existing Internet, identity, and security specifications while introducing a new governance layer above discovery resolution. The disclosures below are provided to improve interoperability, repeatability, and third-party verification, and do not limit the scope of the claims.

A. Interoperability with Existing Resolution Standards

Discovery may be performed using conventional name-to-endpoint mechanisms (e.g., DNS resource records including HTTPS/SVCB/URI records and similar service-binding records), and encrypted transport mechanisms (e.g., DoH/DoT) may be used for confidentiality of the query transport. In all such cases, the governance, authorization, selective disclosure, and receipt issuance occur in the resolver gateway layer described in this specification.

B. Interoperability with Identity and Attestation Standards

For identity anchoring, the protocol may interoperate with decentralized identifier document formats and verifiable credential models (e.g., W3C DID and VC models) as non-limiting examples. Strong client authentication may interoperate with WebAuthn/Passkeys for proof-of-control and anti-phishing authentication. These are illustrative integration points; other identity and attestation schemes may be used.

C. Cryptographic Encodings and Receipt Canonicalization

Resolution Receipts (RRec) may be encoded in a deterministic form to enable third-party recomputation and verification. Non-limiting encodings include canonical JSON, CBOR, and/or deterministic protobuf. Signatures may be represented using standard signature containers (e.g., COSE and/or JOSE) with algorithm agility. Audit anchors may be represented as Merkle roots, content-addressable digests (e.g., CID-style digests), or other append-only log commitments.

D. Conformance Profiles and Registries

To support multi-vendor interoperability, implementations may publish conformance profiles for (i) receipt formats, (ii) reason-code vocabularies, (iii) scope-token claim sets, and (iv) policy-container versioning and migration. In non-limiting embodiments, a public or consortium registry may be maintained for reason codes, policy-pack identifiers, and receipt field semantics so that independent verifiers can validate receipts produced by different resolver gateways.

E. Technical Whitepaper/Bluepaper/Technical Review Attachments

A separate non-essential technical attachment entitled “BEI TRD (BEIDNS) Technical Whitepaper, Bluepaper, and Technical Review” may be submitted with this application as an informational appendix. Such attachment may include conformance guidance, deployment profiles, sample test vectors, and additional use-case packs. The present specification is complete without reliance on the technical attachment for compliance with 35 U.S.C. Section 112.

The method of claim 7, further comprising generating the scope token responsive to a relationship proof that indicates an authorized relationship between a requester and a target entity, the relationship proof comprising at least one of an issuer-signed credential or a policy-approved attestation.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the policy engine enforces selective disclosure by returning, for a denied request, a denial receipt that includes the reason code and a remediation step list, and by returning, for an allowed request, only fields permitted by the field-level disclosure whitelist.

10. The method of claim 7, wherein issuance of the scope token requires a threshold signature by a plurality of policy authorities and supports nested delegation by including a parent-token reference.

11. The method of claim 1, wherein the RRec includes a plurality of standardized reason codes corresponding to at least: authentication failure, authorization failure, policy mismatch, scope violation, expiry, revocation, rollback-in-progress, and compliance restriction.

12. The method of claim 1, wherein the audit anchor includes (i) a hash of the result set or denial indication and (ii) a ledger reference that enables independent verification by a third party, and wherein the anchor digest is optionally additionally anchored to a distributed ledger via a digest-only commitment.

13. The method of claim 1, further comprising enriching the identifier request with knowledge-graph data by mapping the identifier request to a knowledge-graph entity identifier and recording, in the RRec, at least a knowledge-graph entity identifier and a knowledge-graph path hash.

14. The method of claim 1, further comprising generating or retrieving a global identity root for a subject and generating a global object key for an object associated with the identifier request, and recording, in the RRec, a decentralized identifier for the global identity root and a cryptographic hash for the global object key.

15. The method of claim 1, further comprising computing minute-grade metering values comprising a duration value and a computed value amount, recording the duration value and the computed value amount in the RRec, and streaming aggregated metering values to a real-time index publication service to produce a minute-resolution economic index.

16. The method of claim 1, further comprising locking at least a portion of the computed value amount into a savings state that includes an interest or yield parameter and an inheritance or trust release condition, and recording the savings state in the RRec.

17. The method of claim 1, wherein the identifier request is associated with a physical asset, and further comprising receiving IoT measurements for the physical asset, generating an IoT data anchor, recording the IoT data anchor in the RRec, and updating an RRec status value to indicate at least one of MORTGAGE, LEASED, or TRANSFERRED for the physical asset.

18. The method of claim 1, wherein the scope token references a regulation identifier or compliance profile, and wherein the policy engine automatically applies a compliance state comprising at least one of minimal disclosure or full compliance and records the compliance state in the RRec.

19. The method of claim 1, further comprising, in response to a revocation signal, inconsistency detection, or control-change event associated with an identifier, executing a bounded rollback procedure that: (i) references a previously committed snapshot of an append-only receipt ledger via a rollback_ref field; (ii) computes an impact set that identifies only those resolution receipts and derived records whose dependency graph cryptographically commits to the revoked or inconsistent receipt; and (iii) issues a rollback resolution receipt (RRec) that includes the rollback_ref, an impact_set_digest, and a machine-readable remediation directive, thereby preventing cascading invalidation outside the computed impact set.

20. The method of claim 19, wherein the bounded rollback procedure is constrained to a predetermined rollback window defined by at least one of (a) a time-duration threshold and (b) a metered-minute threshold, and wherein the bounded rollback procedure further generates a rollback impact report comprising: (i) one or more hashed identifier prefixes representing affected identifiers; (ii) an affected time range; (iii) a verification rule for a client terminal that, responsive to the rollback impact report and the rollback resolution receipt, denies, quarantines, or re-requests access until a replacement RRec verifies against a policy_version and a revocation_ref.
